Part of both,

Dad died when i was 18, i failed manny things and such, then i turned 19 and started working my ass off to get something made out of myself, have worked my ass off since. Right now mom is getting old and that's making me stressed as fuck, i pay up to get her the best treatments possible pretty much. Anywho.

Hard work pays off, that's all i'm saying.
